The following is a review I wrote for TripAdvisor about Sundowners Beach Bar in West End, Roatan: When you think of the idyllic Caribbean beach bar, you’re thinking of Sundowners. There’s nothing quite like Sundowners. THE watering hole for West End, this is where town’s eclectic mix of tourists, dive instructors, locals, expats, and street dogs come together to toast the sunset with a cold beer or a glass of rum and pineapple.’ It’s called Sundowners for a reason: located directly on the white sands of Half Moon Bay, this site is privy to exquisite sunsets for most of the year.

Given that I’ve been gallivanting around the United States for the last two months, I’ve had a harder time coming up with relevant updates about my life on Roatan. Therefore, it’s come time for me to reevaluate the purpose of TheScubaGeek.com and implement some long-outstanding revisions to the site. Changes are coming. I’m currently working on an updated layout and structure for the site along with a bevy of new content.

Sundowner’s Beach Bar has a new website! Given that I spend way too much time sipping rum and pineapples at Sundowner’s, it’s more like I’ve paid them to build their site. Oh well… cheers! Check out the cold drinks, hot food, and great times at www.sundownersroatan.com

Bad news, West End. Yesterday’s Roatan Municipal meeting confirmed the worst fears of local restaurant and bar owners: no booze is to be served or consumed at any time during Semana Santa (Holy Week— the week leading up to Easter).
